Able Medical Devices is searching for an experienced CNC Programmer with focus on Tsugami Swiss Lathe programming.

About the Role

The CNC Programmer is responsible for programming and producing production and prototype machined products using CNC equipment and utilizing precision measurement and gaging tools to meet customer requirements.

CNC Programming

• Determining Tooling and Raw Material size requirements for machining processes based on finished product, fixturing, and workholding requirements.
• Purchase tooling to meet product requirements and result in reliable/sustainable machining processes (e.g., mitigate tool breaks and wear).
• Perform CNC programming and troubleshooting, and manufacture standard production and prototypes utilizing solid modeling and CAM software
• Manage CNC programs (e.g., saving current version, transferring it to machines, controlling updates/revisions to the master copy, etc.).
• Manage tooling/fixturing inventory to assist with setup reduction efforts (e.g., 5S).
• Accountable for the documentation of process sheet instructions, prints, tool lists, and inspection procedures to verify sequence and conformance to requirements.
• Lead the culture of 5S by creating an orderly work area including machining equipment and tooling.
• Resolve machining problems and capture opportunities to achieve the current production schedule.
• Machine parts, fixtures, tooling with manual lathe, mill & grinding to support prototype and standard production.
• Collaborate with Development Engineering to optimize new product design concepts for manufacturability.
• Utilize precision measuring and gauging tools, performing required inspections before, during and after machining.
• Monitor machining operation to detect malfunctions or out of tolerance machining and adjust machine controls as required.
• Perform preventative maintenance checks before, during, and after operations on machine centers.
• Visually inspect small tools and tooling kits to ensure correct tooling, sequence of use and tool offsets.
• Understanding engineering drawings, especially orthopedic medical device implants and instruments
• Understand tolerance range by interpreting geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) design specifications to optimize machine fixturing and programming.
• Vigilantly observe and analyze potentially hazardous conditions in the areas of production.
• Document “fail safe” attributes of products and processes.

Production and Process Development

• Assist with quoting potential work for contract manufacturing (e.g., estimate setup and cycle times, tooling, fixturing, and material requirements, etc.).
• Sourcing new cutting tools, workholding, auxiliary equipment to reduce cycle time or increase production capabilities (e.g., manufacturing engineering efforts).
• Assist in the implementation of lean manufacturing techniques to support a culture of continuous improvement.
• Assist in the implementation of SPC to ensure that machines and processes are operating predictably.
